BEIJING, June 22 -- The Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership1 Arrangement (CEPA) is functioning smoothly2, said the Vice3 Minister of Commerce Liao Xiaoqi on Thursday.

 

Liao said the two sides had cooperated successfully in services, trade, finance, tourism and human resource since the CEPA was signed four years ago.

 

The vice minister said the mainland has imported Hong Kong-made products worth one billion U.S. dollars, waiving4 91 million U.S. dollars of tariffs5.

 

As of January 2006, the mainland scrapped6 all tariffs on products manufactured in Hong Kong.

 

A total of 1,753 Hong Kong-based enterprises have invested in the mainland on favorable terms offered by the CEPA, said Liao.

 

The terms include relaxed restrictions7 on shareholding8 and lower capital requirements for registering ventures, he added.

 

There are 38 banks in Hong Kong which operate RMB business and RMB deposits in the special administrative9 region have reached 25.5 billion yuan (3.3 billion U.S. dollars), said Liao.

 

The mutual10 recognition of professional qualifications is advancing quickly, said Liao, noting that 1,400 architects had recently been recognized by both sides.

 

The vice minister also mentioned the tourism sector11, saying 49 cities had been opened to Hong Kong tourists, drawing 19.7 million individual tourists.
